Our next KE Seminar

We
are delighted to announce that the third Knowledge Exchange Seminar of the New Social
Media, New Social Science (NSMNSS) network will now take place in January 2013.

The
'Qualitative Research and Social Media' seminar will bring together specialist
speakers to discuss a range of topics, including opportunities and challenges
of 'Deep Data', understanding behaviours and networks through the lens of
netnography, and the changing role of the qualitative researcher online. Please
find attached a detailed programme.

R.S.V.P. Please contact Claire Ashby at
NatCen Learning, claire.ashby@natcen.ac.uk
to confirm your attendance by Friday, 14 December. Please include
in your email whether you require any special considerations to attend
the event.

First-come,
first-served.
We have very limited spaces for this event so places will be allocated on a
first-come first-served basis, preference will be given to participants willing
to contribute a case study or example from their own experience to one of the
sessions, and provide their thoughts in a blog piece or through a short video
which can be shared with the wider network.

We’ll
ask contributors to share their experiences at the event by providing a
descriptive case study - a short 2-3 minute description of your experience
using qualitative methods in social media research. Please identify which of
the suggested themes in the programme you think your example would fit under
and we will ask you to share this during the relevant session.

NSMNSS
Blog (http://nsmnss.blogspot.co.uk/)
to read the latest discussions on social media in the social sciences,
and to view past videos capturing case studies for inspiration on preparing
your own descriptive case study.

We
look forward to seeing you on January 28th!

If
you can’t join us at the event then we will be holding a webinar looking at the
same range of issues on February 5th at 16:00 GMT/UTC, 17:00 CET, please reply claire.ashby@natcen.ac.uk with this
message: ‘I would like to reserve a seat at the webinar on 5/02/13’ and we will
send you details of your login for that session in the New Year.

About NSMNSS

Should social science researchers embrace social media and, if we do, what are the implications for our methods and practice? This network, led by NatCen Social Research and SAGE along with our affiliate supporters (see below) is for people using or seeking to use social media in social science research who want to explore the implications of that question.
